Hero is too strong a word. It took far too long for him to tell anyone what happened and he hasn’t once called out Trump for being a traitor or trying to overthrow our democracy. During the Republican debates this year he agreed he’d endorse the Republican candidate regardless of who it was, including Trump.
Pence could have been a hero but he’s tried too hard to stay in the middle and not offend the MAGAts when we’ve really needed the truth.
Just a coincidence that the cameras got turned off before he did it too. Nothing to see here…
